[comp.databases] Scrolling cursors in Informix

news@riddle.UUCP (08/11/87)

For your information, Informix 4GL version 1.10 and the
corresponding version of ESQL/C, version 2.10, both provide the
concept of scrolling cursors -- which do precisely what you want.
(PERFORM has been re-written to use SQLEXEC, and it behaves as before.
There is another new product, SQL-TURBO, which is an alternative to
SQLEXEC, so PERFORM had to be made to use SQLEXEC, and SQLEXEC had to
support scrolling cursors.)

I don't know whether the commit/rollback problem has been
attended to.

(And, yes, the company I work for does sell Informix products.
But I haven't told anybody I've sent this stuff. Yet!)
